THE TURF.
The Ten Thousand Dollar Stake Race at Charter Oak Park - The June
 

at Charter Oak Park - The June Meeting.
 The time of making first payments on the $10. 900 stake race to be trotted at the fall meeting at Charter Oak Park ended Satur- day. The nominators now make 8 first pay ment of $250 and give their residences and postoffce addresses. On June 14th second S25O i, paid and on August 1st third like sum, the final payment being due the night before the race. The horses are not named l till the Monday preceding the race. Mir. T. o. King, secretary of the Charter Oak Driv- | ing Park association, returned from Chicago | Sunday morning and was interviewed con corning the race. He declined, however, to | give the names of any nominators, as letters containing first money mailed on the 14th are liable to arrive as late as Wednesday or 1 Thursday. The list will be given as soon as it is complete, but will not tell much of the horses that are to be started. Any horse that has not already got record better than 2:20 is eligible for the race, no matter what his record may be next August. Last season almost all the horses in the great race had got records way down before they reached here, but that did not interfere with start ing them. The horse that wins the purse this season will probably have to go as fast as 2:17.
 The entries for the June meeting at Char ter Oak close the last of this month. Purses to the amount of $6,00O will probably be of fered.

A STORY FROM SOUTH KENT.

The following story appears under South Kent date in the New Milford Gazette A fox got himself in close quarters last Thursday morning when he strayed into the yard of Seth Monroe for an early breakfast. Mrs. Monroe was in the yard feeding chickens when the fox caught hen near her, but be- fore he could get away with the hen Mrs.
 Monroe had him by the tail. She kept her grip on the tail, and the fox hung to the hen,
 until they were dragged partly around the
 house, Mrs. Monroe calling for help, which
 came in the shape of two dogs, who made
 quick work of the fox, which proved to be 8
 full grown and tough one, as he fought the
 dogs sharply. His skin now hangs in the
 woodshed.

STAMFoRp'S LOSS.

William J. Darling found on the street at
 Waterbury two years ago an old army badge such as the soldiers wore so that their bodies
 might be identified on the field of battle. The badge bore the name of Major N. Smith. The widow of Major Smith lately obtained
 possession of the badge through a notice in a paper, and says that it was lost at Alexan- dria, Va, during the war. The ground where it was lost had been so trampled over by the armies that all hope of ever finding l the badge was given up.

THE democratic city-towDship conven>
ton which met at Turner hall last night,
would undoubtedly have been more
deliberative and less boister0us had not
the Fifth ward contest occurred. This
unfortunate incident seemed to diSorgan-
lie the convention, and it took the dele
gates some time TO finally get down TO
business and nominate ticket. In re-
fusing admittance to the regular set of
delegates, the convention perpetrated a
great injustice and an egregious blunder
Because some of the second set of dele>
gates were more prominent in the party
than the first. it did not follow that they
were more entitled to seats in the con
vention. Nor do two wrongs make
one right When the half dozen
or so gentlemen walked out of the
democratic caucus last Friday night
and constituted themselves into g
little admiration society, they COM
mitted a fragrant breach of etiquette
which cannot be too severely condemned
and the convention is no less censurable
for recognizing them. II boosted leaders
